It was interesting to read Rethinking Modernism, Revising Functionalism and to think about what design styles today's world is leaning towards and trying to imitate or take suggestions from. It seems with today's modernism designers are getting away from the straight forward, organized, almost boring layouts. They are going for a more expressive way of showing their work and an organized chaos look to things. Expression is a big aspect of today's generation.
Overcoming Modernism: I found it interesting that the article mentioned the pressure young designers of today have on being able to communicate. Schools seem to be integrating the importance of being able to speak in front of people and sell a product. I have noticed when attending our Hallmark lectures that the designers that have come all seem to be very good public speakers.
After reading the interview with Steven Heller is was surprised at how much he really cared about what his audience thought and that he took the time to read and reply to the letters he received. He is very opinionated and feels very strongly about certain topics but he respects others views as well.
